Last weekend, with no EPL action, we were instead treated by Sportsnet and TSN to some wonderful FA Cup matches. The fixtures still had your traditional powerhouses like Manchester United and Tottenham involved, but instead of playing opponents at Anfield and Stamford Bridge, they were off in small stadiums across the country playing against teams like Yeovil Town and Peterborough United.
The quaintness of having a big team come into your little community stadium, and getting a chance to be world-beaters for all to see, has to be special for both club and fans.
